1858 Indian Cent in Bronze
Judd-210, PR64 Red and Brown
Two Examples Known

1858 1C Indian Cent, Judd-210, Pollock-260, R.8, PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC Ex: Simpson. The design closely resembles the 1859 Indian cent struck for circulation. However, the obverse has a broad bust point, and the reverse has five-leaf clusters within the wreath, both unlike the issued 1859 cent. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. This is one of two known Judd-210 representatives. The other is the Eliasberg example, which we handled in 1997. That coin can be identified by a spot in the field near the RI in AMERICA.

The present example features generous glimpses of copper-orange color, particularly within the legends. The devices and open fields are medium brown with steel-blue accents. Well-struck and virtually mark-free with a small spot near the C in AMERICA. An outstanding opportunity for the pattern Indian cent specialist.
